Panama Case reflected a glimpse of its lethality to attack and break monopoly. A case is being created to shut down social media in the garb of different reasons. Ruling elites have been advised to shut down social media forums taking opportunity under different reasons to avoid sure death of political monopoly in forthcoming elections next year. Reasons have been built around religious sentiments to justify the ban on Social Media.

It is unfortunate that incompetent and corrupt leadership and regulatory bodies are unable to adopt a technology which can filter the undesirable content, instead opting to completely shut down social media.

Top traditional media advisers, ruling elites, corrupt mafias have united to suppress the newly found freedom in the form of social media. Social Media is now a question of survival for one of the two segments: Political Elite Monopoly or Public Monopoly. Only one of them will survive.

I appeal to all those who believe in freedom, to advise, pursue and convince decision makers on a single point: To stop undesirable content on social media, you don’t have to shut down social media, you have to apply technology of filtering the data funnel.
